"Workers Say They Were Tricked and Threatened as Part of Elon Musk’s Get-Out-the-Vote Effort:
America PAC door knockers were flown to Michigan, driven in the back of a U-Haul, and told they’d have to pay hotel bills unless they met unrealistic quotas. One was surprised they were working to elect Donald Trump."
Spotted on an evening walk on an isolated beach in Aotearoa #NewZealand
A small human (5?) holding up a kite so her older brother can get it in the air. She's an expert holder, picking it up every time it falls on the sand. The patience and optimism that it'll fly eventually seems infinite.
A man (30s?) with a thoughtful aspect pushing a wheelbarrow down to the water line. He's got all the gear for a perfect few hours fishing. A while later he's spotted in a deck chair next to a low table with a picnic on it while waiting for a catch.
A small group of young humans directed by a man (40s?) in setting up a sand-drawn rugby pitch. He's wearing a bucket hat and has the air of a dad on a mighty mission. Within minutes he has teams sorted and is running up and down the sand umpiring. This is serious business
Two grey haired naturists walking along the treeline on a quiet patch of the beach. From a distance they look like two tranquil, rather pink wild creatures happily holding hands as one of them points out different cloud formations crossing the skyline.
A couple of women (20s?) smooching while standing in ankle deep water. They pause to take a selfie and then one abruptly stoops and splashes the other. Shrieking, chasing and more smooching to follow.
Any typos spotted in this post are lost after being locked in overnight after the sunset gates were closed at this beach. If spotted give them a drink of water and a ride to the nearest town. They will appreciate breakfast.
taky mam vzdycky "radost", kdyz vidim update tohohle molochu. Bohuzel mam jednu appku, kde to nejde vypnout a zatim sem byl linej ten -9999 ebuild poradne prozkoumat, jestli bych to nevypl nebo je to nak vic zadratovany. Naivne sem si myslel (tak pred pul rokem), ze zkusim prepnout par balicku na binarni, ale ono to nejde (zatim?) uplne mixovat. Jen pokud existuje -bin alternativa separe, i u LO sem musel prejit na kompilaci, protoze -bin je zoufale stara a dle bugzilly to moc nevypada.
@Marián Kyral @mahdi Já mám Firefox a Thunderbird binární, protože tam jsou updaty hodně časté, Libreoffice kompiluju na svých třech strojích pod hodinu (jsou to děla), na čas Qtwebengine se mi nechce vzpomínat.
Zkoušel jsem binpkg gcc, protože mi chvíli zlobila jeho kompilace, ale jinak té binpkg větvi Gentoo rozumím tak, že je spíš pro případ, kdy člověk spravuje síť a nechce kompilovat na každém PC.
Ta binární větev je pro všechny, kdo využívají nejčastější kombinaci USE flagů. Pokud člověk moc nedivočí, tak se použije binární balík. Jinak se kompiluje.
Bohužel čím větší balík, tím více USE flagů a tím větší šance, že se bude muset kompilovat. Nebylo by špatné, mít nějaký nástroj, který by mi řekl, kterými USE flagy se liším.
byvalo i hur :) kdyz sem s gentoo zacinal, tak muj 6kg notas s P4 daval OO.org ~24h (nastesti pomerne rychle byl pak i binarni) ... btw firefox ma udrzovanej www-client/firefox-bin (esr i nejnovejsi), takze tady du cestou nejmensiho odporu.
@mahdi Ten FF mě vůbec netrápí. Ani LO. Zato Chromium byl jiný příběh. Tam bin balíček byl, ale zrušili ho, kompilovat to nechci, tak jsem skončil u FlatPacku. Občas v něm potřebuji něco otestovat a na to mi flatpack stačí.
Playing with different operating systems, I somehow ended up with a phone where most of the sensors didn't work, even if they did when I got the phone.
The first batch of videos from the recent #LibreOffice Conference 2024 are now online! (Apologies for the slight video stutter in places – beyond our control.) This is just the beginning, and there are many more to come (and PeerTube)... youtube.com/watch?v=RGJDbdG1Bv…

You're on a ship hurtling through space and your crew's best engineers report that critical sub-systems - from water filtration, through to HVAC and food pods - are all failing. Evidence of sabotage. What do you do?
World's governments:
"Governments failed to reach a consensus [...] Many were forced to leave the talks early to catch flights, and negotiations were suspended at 8.30am when fewer than half of the countries were present"
The concern here is that old search engines can give you links and you can go into them to verify the content. AI taking over our search engines hides the sources of information, forcing us to blindly trust the AI and wherever it got its information from.

While porting 'Space Travel' to the PDP-7, Ken Thompson developed an operating system that became the foundation of Unix. It played a crucial role in the development of Unix.
I got my new Ableton Move yesterday. The other one gets returned on Monday. So, for the short time I can do it, I put both of them on the floor, linked them together using Ableton Link, made a crappy complimentary sequence on both of them, and recorded this silly thing.
lol, considered getting one of those for my partner but wasn't sure how accessible the tools were particularly if you're on Mac but Windows. Very nifty though
It doesn't matter too much, since the screen reader is currently web-based. It does work a little better out-of-the-box with Voiceover on either Mac or iOS compared to NVDA, but thanks to some code from @tspivey that makes interrupting of regions way, way nicer, I prefer using it with NVDA now. No idea how Jaws does it. I tried it with Talkback/Google Chrome, and it's much less nice there.
@Tamasg I don't think it matters? The screen reader output is done via webpage ARIA Live Regions, so if you can get Mac to do that in a timely fashion, you're good to go as far as I know.
@twynn oooh yeah, I heard the 34-minute overview Onj did on it, quite impressive but also a bit steep from say, a standard stylophone or something much more simple like a synth/looping device as such. Although the flexibility of pads and track layouts being so easy to make are both tempting upsides so for sure considering them the more I hear of it, like that production too.
Speaking of the Stylophone: I got one of those for Christmas a few years ago, and was disappointed to discover that it is not a true synth anymore like the originals. It now plays tiny little samples and has aliasing. BOOOOOO!
I was out at the farm, doing the regular fall chores and prepping beds for garlic, when my glasses lens fell out. The screw is, of course, gone. But I need my glasses to drive. Enter a natural material that's abundant, strong, flexible and able to hold a knot.

At first, I found the blade of grass to be a simple solution to a problem. A satisfying answer to a question asked by circumstance. Then it became, I admit, something of an amusement. That was a fool's error. Now it is not me who laughs at the grass, but the grass which laughs cruelly at me. It sees me, and by extension all of humanity, stripped of our modern contrivances, naked before it, and it mocks us.
The end of an era. On September 24, I used a blade of fresh grass to temporarily mend my glasses after one of the screws fell out in a hay field. I just hoped it would last the day.
Today, 39 days later, it finally started to slip, and I put a metal screw back into the hole. Thank you, blade of grass. You served me incredibly well. Amazing stuff, grass.
I tried to subscribe to the podcast, but Pocket Casts wouldn't let me. It said that the file I importedwas invalid. I used the feed provided on the page linked in your post. Are you subscribed to it?
Soul Searching is an offline music application for Android 8 and above. It's a rework of the native mobile application Sweet Music using Jetpack Compose.
This was quite a journey fighting compression algorithms (Fedora using zlib-ng instead of zlib), but thanks to joint efforts and hard work of the author (thanks entername74!), it was finally made RB
MIT licensed document extraction Python library from the Deep Search team at IBM, who released [Docling v2](https://ds4sd.github.io/docling/v2/#changes-in-docling-v2) on October 16th. Here's the [Docling Technical Report](https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.
How does the Markdown output from Docling compare with the HTML that you've gotten out of Gemini for PDF documents? Does Docling do a good job of recognizing headings, lists, etc.?

The Five Faces of Doctor Who, the multi-Doctor repeat season was broadcast 40 years ago today, on 2 November 1981. This fondly remembered run of repeats gave many fans the chance to enjoy stories from past Doctor’s that they’d never seen before for the first time! #DoctorWho
@DavidGoldfield IKWYM, it still baffles me why they've never repeated the show on a regular basis, they seem to with just about everything else these days.
I am thinking of using github.com/keithamus/csslex as a base and going from there to learn more about CSS internals, but I admit I am Afraid of Doing Code Crimes and would like encouragment ha ha
not with that library in particular, but in librsvg I use a rust-based css lexer and parse properties with that. Writing the parsers is fun, a bit tricky sometimes. I do steal code from Servo from time to time. Happy to talk about it.
Oh the non believers among you re my toot about Woollybutt St!! I had to walk 5km there and back this . morning to bring you this .... It even has its own dedicated bus stop (@welshpixie)
He may be starting with lanes in Toronto, but all communities are at risk, including Ottawa. We need to stand up for everyone who uses these lanes, benefits from the cyclists shopping along the routes, and all those who will be too afraid to ride because of the increased danger. See you there! #ottbike #biketooter
Shall the historic anglophones ALSO sue the province of Québec AND the city of Montréal, etc. to translate ALL its websites and provincial and municipal documents into English?
MONTREAL — A Quebec civil rights group is suing the office of the registrar of the Supreme Court of Canada because of the high court’s refusal to translate its historic decisions into French.
To pull a Bezos: to sell oneself out to someone only to be kicked in the teeth by them.
Couldn’t have happened to a smarter person. Like literally, almost anyone paying attention with a modicum of intelligence would have known acquiescence would earn them nothing but scorn.
It was a difficult day for Montreal metro users on Nov. 1 with service only being restored in the early morning of Nov. 2.There were multiple delays including the green line being at a standstill for 20-hours.
Stone-built Snake Bridge on the Macclesfield Canal in England.
The ‘Snake Bridge’ or 'Roving Bridge' is a bridge over a canal constructed to allow a horse towing a boat to cross the canal when the towpath changes sides, without having to be unhitched from the boat.
